The vision was always to help people in need. Please help spread the word and leave a good rating to help spread the app to more people if you like it.
The cheapest AAC app compared to others offering the same features.
Chatterboards was professionally developed, in collaboration with Speech Therapists and end users, with the aim of providing people in need with an AAC app that doesn't cost hundreds of dollars or require monthly subscriptions.
ChatterBoards is an easy to use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) aid for people of any age who have speech or language difficulties. This can include people with autism, aphasia, apraxia, stroke, downs syndrome, or any other disability that causes the individual to have difficulties in communicating or expressing their needs.
Continually updated with new features and enhancements. All suggestions and/or requests are considered.
Full feature list:
- Create and use vocabulary boards, including multiple paged vocabularies, for forming sentences.
- Board levels. Levels provide a way to progressively build up a user's vocabulary. A limited set of words can be displayed at each level, progressively building up the number of words shown until the full board is used. Words/Tiles do not move position between boards, allowing users to remember and learn a number of words at a time without them moving.
- Create and use basic phrase boards which associate a basic full phrase/sentence to an individual button, providing quick responses or questions for basic communication needs.
- Ability to create and switch between different profiles, each with their own set of boards and settings. Ideal for households with multiple users, or specialists with multiple clients.
- All board dimensions supported up to and included 16x16 (rows x columns) per page.
- Fully customisable buttons. Change their text, colour (border and background), image and audio playback

- Save images from the internet, or from your own symbol libraries, into your photo library for use.

Ratings and Reviews
Great, but sound is low
This app is great for non verbal and stammering episodes, however the volume of the voice is very low even when maxed out
No sound
Seems like an amazing app but for me the main feature of saying the words out loud don’t work at all. Yes my volume is up on my device and yes I’ve checked the app settings. I’d be happy to change my rating if I can get this to work.
